Downloading on to my MP3 player

[ClaireD1973]

I have just bought an MP3 player. I am having trouble putting music on it!! I understand that I have downloads on my PC which are on windows media player. Can I download any of this tracks on to my mp3 player - is yes how do you do it? Also can I download straight on to my MP 3 player from a downloads site?

The downloads you already have saved on your PC will be in a folder, possibly 'My Music' unless youhave called it something else. Open that and minimise. Then plug in your mp3 player by the usb cable and go to My computer. Open the Drive (you might need to click on J, K, L and so on to find the correct one). Once you have, a new window will open. Now all you need to do is Cut and Copy the music files from the My Music file to the empty drive.
You can't easily download straight to your MP3 player, it's best to save the tunes in a file and just copy them over.... Hope this makes sense.

Another way is to have Media Player open, and make a new playlist of the sings that you want on your MP3 player

then goto Copy to CD or device....and make sure the destination is your MP3 (as buttoneyes said it will appear on your computer as another Hard drive once its plugged in)

and away you go

And no, dont download straight onto your MP3 player

Thanks. My mp2 player says that "please ensure only mp3's music files are used for this player (not WMA music files) Well, all my music files have this on the end of it! How do I change it to say mp3?

By rights you should have had software with the player that will convert your files to mp3 format. If not, there are loads to choose from on the net as a free download.
